5 Antique French Military Education Posters - Napoleonic War - Polytecnique Cour d'Art Militare -  Defences - Entrenchments - MT2/18

Printed in the early to mid 1800's, these five superb posters were produced for the instruction of Officer Cadets following a decree on 16 December 1799 by Napoleon: 
'LE LOI RELATIF A L'ORGANISATION D'ÉCOLE POLYTECNIQUE'. 
The institution was to instruct cadets in Mathematics, Chemistry and Military Design for the French Army, French Navy and other French Military Regimes. 

 

These are an incredibly rear find and highly sought after. Normally only seen in museums.

These five antique wall posters have illustrations detailing : how to form an attack; previous successful forms of attack; defence from attack; and formation of camp.
Attaque des Places Series E - Numbers 1, 2 and 4
Defense des Places Series E - Number 5
Complements Series B - Number 4

The posters are all in good antique condition - all of the edges are fragile and Number 4 in Series E has some tattered edges. All are in a condition that can be displayed, properly behind glass to prevent further deterioration. Each sheet is folded in four and the crease lines are more fragile than the rest of the sheet. A real unique gift for the military collector they would look fantastic once framed and mounted. More photographs are available should you wish.

Measurements are: 21.5" in height x 14.5" wide (54.5cm x 37cm). 


Your purchase will be very carefully packaged and despatched in recycled wrappings where possible, via the Irish An Post .
